We've got another exciting Big Ten matchup on schedule as the Illinois Fighting Illini and the Ohio State Buckeyes are set to tip at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday at State Farm Center. The Fighting Illini are strutting in with some offensive muscle as they've averaged 85.

Coach Jake Diebler and the Ohio State men's hoops like they would extend their winning streak for much of the afternoon, but Illinois rallied late.

Don't look now, but the Ohio State basketball team might be getting hot at the right time. After losing three in a row by a combined total of five points, the Buckeyes have rattled off three wins in a row and done so in convincing fashion.
